Hey Scenarshooter! (and all those challenged with handloading)
Here's what the 130 Swift Scirocco does out of my .264 Winchester Magnum...


[Linked Image]


I think this is a special bullet (as told to me by a good friend, and my experience confirms it) as its construction, BC, and devastation on meat is second to none!

If you are elk hunting or any other big game hunting, the .264 mm Swift Scirocco rules!

....and that's at 3250.

I wouldn't think of shooting any of the bullets mentioned here which all happen to be of lesser construction, into an elk at that velocity. At the anemic velocities produced by the 6.5x47 and .260 smile you could probably get away with shooting a tin foil bullet like the Berger

I can confirm that the 140 SGKs are pretty hard on bears. I shot one this morning. You do have to hit the middle and not the fringes though!

"36.3 gr Varget, CCI BR primer, .030" off the lands, 2805 fps av, 15 es, 4 sd, 8 shots, .65 MOA group, 24.5" 8tw Broughton 5C barrel."

What cartridge are you loading for? This load seems light for velocity?

I'd trust the AB most for expansion w/penetration on all shots and distances in the 47L.

Just my thinking, the LRX should do fine, but perhaps it's better close/mid range vs. further out.

The VLD, I'd avoid large bones myself and go for lungs.

The SSII's have a great reputation on impact, accuracy depends on load/rifle it seems.

No doubt the 140 Sierra is a tougher bullet and good killer vs what some might think at these speeds. Bob Tomek has taken alot of deer and hogs w/this bullet.

I'd use a 130AB and not look back at these speeds on all game and distances, just me. Accurate and lethal, nice bc/sd. Not a trendy bullet but the old 129 SP is a great all arounder and performance similar to the 125PT from what I've seen. Less bearing surface than you might think speeds are good w/it also.

Whatever you shoot Alan, if you hit a nice elk, put another thru it quick if it's not going down fast just b/c, might as well shorten any tracking job.

Good hunting this season Alan!

I like the way you think grasshopper! And your opinion that mine needed to be seated at .060" off turned out to be entirely correct thus illustrating that even the master can learn from the student! grin

Tell me again why "devastation on meat" is a good thing?

Here are the results from my testing at 717 yds. Conditions were pretty decent. Nothing to light wind, coming right up the canyon in my face but mostly angling from 11pm. It's a down angle but only 2 deg. Target is a 15" wide x 27" tall LV steel 1/2 silhouette. With my MSA Sordin electronic ear muffs, I can hear the clang of steel well out beyond 1000 yds. I used this instead of a paper target so I could get immediate feedback so I can go ahead and shoot a group. You may note the two holes, about the belly button, I put through the steel with 180 TSX @ 100 yds some years back. My bad!

127 LRX, 5-shots.

I had tested the 130 AB two evenings ago; .010", .030" and .050" off the lands. One of them, I think, the .010" off the lands was a keeper @ .4 MOA. But I confused my notes and wasn't sure which was which. So I decided the test the three of them today. You'll notice their is one impact mark that keeps appearing near the center of the steel. I kept it their to use as an aimpoint. With my NF 5.5-22x50 I can easily see it. Oh, and I smartened up and placed a large cardboard backer behind the steel to catch any strays.

.050" off the lands. You'll notice I got two on and three off the steel, on the cardboard.

.010" off the lands. Three together and one low.

Uh, don't know how. Don't have the equipment to do so. Don't know anyone who could. frown
